For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

Verse 29 is found in chapter 31 of Deuteronomy. Moses finishes writing the words of the law and commands that they be placed beside the ark as a witness. He acknowledges that he knows the people’s tendency to rebel even before his death. The song that will later be proclaimed will serve precisely to remind the people of their history and confront them with their future unfaithfulness.

Denn ich weiß, daß ihr's nach meinem Tode verderben werdet und aus dem Wege treten, den ich euch geboten habe. So wird euch dann Unglück begegnen hernach, darum daß ihr übel getan habt vor den Augen des HERRN, daß ihr ihn erzürntet durch eurer Hände Werk.
Porque yo sé que después de mi muerte, ciertamente os corromperéis y os aparteréis del camino que os he mandado; y que os ha de venir mal en los postreros días, por haber hecho mal en ojos de Jehová, enojándole con la obra de vuestras manos.
Porque sé que después de mi muerte se corromperán por completo y se apartarán del camino que les he mandado. En los días venideros les sobrevendrá la calamidad, porque harán lo malo ante los ojos de Jehová, provocándolo a ira con la obra de sus manos».
Car je sais qu'après ma mort vous vous corromprez, et que vous vous détournerez de la voie que je vous ai prescrite; et le malheur finira par vous atteindre, quand vous ferez ce qui est mal aux yeux de l'Eternel, au point de l'irriter par l'oeuvre de vos mains.
Perciocchè io so che, dopo la mia morte, per certo voi vi corromperete, e vi rivolgerete dalla via ch’io v’ho comandata; onde male vi avverrà nel tempo a venire; perciocchè avrete fatto ciò che dispiace al Signore, dispettandolo con l’opera delle vostre mani.
Porque eu sei que depois da minha morte certamente vos corrompereis, e vos desviareis do caminho que vos ordenei; então este mal vos alcançará nos últimos dias, quando fizerdes mal aos olhos do SENHOR, para o provocar à ira com a obra das vossas mãos.
我知道我死後你們必全然敗壞,偏離我所吩咐你們的道。日後必有禍患臨到你們,因為你們做了耶和華眼中看為惡的事,以你們手中所做的惹他發怒。」
